What a wonderful meal! First, Gannons is in a huge room with a very high ceiling, band playing at one end, bar along the side, very spacious. We started with the Eggplant Olivia. Delicious! My wife had the fish of the day, which came with shrimp and a very nice sauce, understated but with excellent flavor. I had the chicken piccata. The chicken was perfectly done, tender, and with bright herbal flavors. Amazing. We ended splitting the fried pecan pie, which was a wonder in itself. Altogether a delightful meal. Our server, Cole, was knowledgeable and helpful, but also did that shimmer in and shimmer out thing where we did not know he was there. Outstanding dinner experience.
After spending a couple of nights on Broadway, Gannons Nashville was the perfect escape. I got the ceviche and the chicken piccata along with some oysters. Some of the best oysters i've ever had. The food was spectacular. Then add the world-class jazz band playing and it was just blissful. I wanted to spend all night in there. Can't wait to come back.
This was my second visit to Gannon’s as my first immediately set the bar incredibly high. I started with the tuna tartare, which was absolutely flawless fresh, beautifully balanced, and thoughtfully plated. Every bite was clean, bright, and intentional. I paired it with the Charlie Chaplin cocktail, which was equally impressive. Smooth, complex, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. You can tell the bar program here is taken seriously. Between the food, the cocktails, and the atmosphere, Gannon’s feels elevated without being pretentious. Everything was executed with care and confidence. I left already planning my next visit which says everything.
Our server Vanessa was great. She suggested items and meat temperature that was perfect. The food is amazing. We totally recommend this restaurant when visiting Nashville.
Was staying at the Courtyard Marriott for work and stopped in for dinner. I had a Steak and wedge salad. It came with a delicious zucchini and squash in a tomato based sauce. Steak was unreal, cooked perfectly and seasoned and presented very well. Wedge salad with Bluecheese and balsamic reduction was a nice touch. Excellent meal and very cool feeling like stepping back into the 40's. Used to be a bank. Live music was really good too. Class place.
All around AMAZING!! Service is exceptional. The ribeye was absolutely phenomenal. Fried pecan pie for dessert! A must have. Full bar available. Live music during certain times. Piano and cellist was great!
Cole was an excellent server!!! The food was absolutely perfect. There was a swordfish that had a nice surprise... up under it and the mashed potatoes were pickled carrots that were really great and complimented the entire meal!! And then there was the fried pecan pie!!! So good!!!!
The atmosphere was wonderful and gave off a romantic vibe thanks to the live piano music. Our server was attentive & even brought us blankets when we were cold, which was a thoughtful touch. The food was fine, though a bit overpriced for the quality. Overall, a pleasant experience! I’d consider going back mainly for the ambiance & great service.
My lovely bride brought me here for my birthday and it was spectacular! The prime rib and New York strip were done to perfection! Chef Gannon must only source beef from happy cows!! A MUST try is the Turtle Soup, it is divine! Our server, Brian, was knowledgeable, helpful, and very attentive! Throughout the wonderful meal we were very impressed by the live piano and accompanying bass and drums. We did not feel rushed in the slightest and really enjoyed ourselves! Thank you to Chef Gannon, Brian, and the wonderful staff for making my birthday dinner unforgettable! We will be back!
What a beautiful old art deco building. Food was fantastic, live music on Friday night, great service. The fish was amazing as were the oysters Rockefeller and lobster bisque. My cocktail was fabulous. Great experience! I like to order my salad dressing on the side and I was super impressed with their Caesar dressing. Fantastic!
